Indy IV (beware... spoiler pics)

Four Corners of the Earth? Maybe it has something to do with the Navajo lands in the Southwest? Or Hopi prophecy?

That's what I was thinking, especially with much of the filming taking place in terrain that looks much like the southwest. Perhaps it has something to do with the Anasazi? :fedora:

Well, that explains that.

And about the number on the Indiana Jones 4 teaser poster & website; Lucasfilm says 9906573 is not meant to reflect the Ark of the Covenant at all. It is just another catalog number like the one seen on the crate containing the Ark in Raiders.

That seems a little hard to believe. Who would randomly come up with such a close number?

It seems to me that if you were going to use a number, you'd use the same number. They probably just used that number to get people talking more about the film. Any publicity is good publicity, right?

Interesting tidbit found over at TheRaider.net:

Lucasfilm has filed for six possible titles for Indiana Jones 4 with the Motion Pictures Association of America. The proposed titles include:


Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

Herinteractive's next Nancy Drew game will be called "Legend of the Crystal Skull".
Coincidence? I think not!

You might be right about that. With cult movies like this, fans microscopically analyse every tiny thing. If it's some marketing guru who has just switched numbers to get the fans worked up about the significance when there is none, it's some very, very sharp strategy and whoever thought it up knows his onions!

 

[ITG]

Or maybe there's something in the story line where the numbers are transposed. Of course Lucasfilm will deny it if the switching of the numbers have anything to do with the story line, so for me the fact that they denied bears no significance until the movie comes out and I can actually see if the number thing was accidental or purposeful.

 

[Edward]

for UK FL'ers: maybe it's a Numberwang?

 

[Lancealot]

I thought you folks would get a kick out of this.

Indy 4: The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

That's the just announced official title as of today, according to the official website: http://www.indianajones.com/site/index.html

Here's the real Crystal Skull:

I saw it just by accident this summer when leaving the British Museum. I was a huge In Search Of... fan when I was a kid so I was stunned to see it just sitting there, basically stuffed into a corner, and all alone. I was disappointed to learn the experts now think it's a only a beautiful forgery.

I'm guessing Spielberg and Lucas are going to play it up as being real.

 

[Doh!]

Any word on a giant tarantula? I'd pay to see that.

Actually, I'm sure to pay to see the new one regardless.

What a doofus. And in his hometown newspaper, no less.

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. It doesn't exactly roll trippingly off the tongue, does it? :eusa_doh:


That clunky name could be an ill omen ...

The K alliteration in Kingdom, Crystal, and sKull roll pretty well I think. Try it 45 times and it'll roll fine.

 

[Marc Chevalier]

Hmmm ... maybe they should spell it as Kingdom, Krystal, and sKull.

No, wait: that looks too much like --

They're covered. Although Indy against the KKK could be pretty cool.

Indiana Jones and the Ku of the Klux Klan.
